The coaching world has changed since 1975 when the YYSC first opened its doors. Back in the day everyone was a volunteer and just happy to be out on the field having fun. Today it is a different story. Paid coaches are the norm. Coaching license requirements by leagues and clubs have created a more professional atmosphere. Rule changes, concussion litigation, goal counter-weight requirements, restricted heading rules for various ages have all led to important changes in the world of soccer and our local soccer club in Yorktown.
